Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 21, Establishing a Scrap Collection Station
In fact, as far as the waste recycling industry is concerned, the Kyoto Waste Company was established in Kyoto City on Earth in 1957. Led by the Kyoto City Supply and Marketing Cooperative System, it began to carry out waste recycling work as a city-level unit.

At that time, there were no formal companies in the Blue Star Dragon Country. The companies established now will be merged into formal companies in the future.

At noon that day, Zhao Qiang came to Wang Li's house with the news.

At this time, Wang Li's family of three were having dinner. When they saw Zhao Qiang coming, they immediately invited him to eat with them. Zhao Qiang did not refuse. During the dinner, he explained in detail the information he had learned and the method of his friend to the three of Wang Li's family.

After hearing the news, Wang Li's parents didn't say anything, probably they were considering it.

Wang Li immediately replied to Zhao Qiang: This is a good idea, we agree.

Wang Li's parents looked at each other and said nothing. After all, Wang Li's performance over the years had been obvious to all, and his parents trusted him very much.

In fact, they didn't know that Wang Li was very happy at this time. As a time traveler, he knew very well that there were no jobs in this era, and collecting waste was more profitable.

As a country that has just experienced decades of war, the damage to its culture is unimaginable, especially since the new country has just been established and the understanding of antiques and cultural relics is not yet in place. At present, everyone only pays attention to food, clothing, housing, transportation, especially now that food and clothing are difficult to guarantee.

These conditions have led to a sharp drop in the prices and popularity of antique collectibles.

They run a scrap recycling station, which means that the things they buy are all bought at scrap prices, which is equivalent to giving away antiques for free. The only thing that needs to be tested now is his vision.

The eyesight problem is also easy for Wang Li to solve. When he looks for things among the waste he purchases, he can only collect ancient books, bronze ware with inscriptions, and some calligraphy and paintings that look very ancient.

For things like porcelain, collectibles, jade, etc., it is estimated that there are few for sale. If there are any, almost all of them will be kept. As for wooden products, don't worry about it, he is a professional. The items he wants to collect mentioned above, as long as they look good in this era, are basically rare after the Qing Dynasty. The worst is a replica of the Republic of China. If it is put after the reform and opening up, it is also an antique.

The only thing he needs to consider is how to store it and how much to spend on purchasing it.

After deciding to open a purchasing station, they discussed some details with Zhao Qiang, such as how many houses to rent out, how much rent to collect, and with whom to sign the contract, so as to avoid turning their houses into public property while renting them out, which would be counterproductive.

A few days later, Wang Li came forward to sign the contract because he was the owner of the house.

The leasing company that signed the contract was the material recycling branch of their district. The contract was for 30 years. His family rented the back house, most of the garden and the second courtyard to the material recycling company. The company paid his family 50 yuan in rent every month. This was the first set of RMB, which was equivalent to 50 yuan of the second set of RMB in the later period.

This price is relatively low, mainly to repay the favor of Zhao Qiang's friend. Besides, if you ask for too much, the money will not be secure. It is better to be safe and steady, and it can also earn a good reputation for supporting national construction.

Wang Li's father also gloriously became an employed worker in a material recycling company, an identity that would be very important in the future.

In terms of salary, Wang Li's father is the stationmaster of the Siheyuan purchasing station, and his salary is calculated at 35 yuan per month.

After signing the contract, they went to a nearby restaurant for a meal in accordance with Chinese tradition, which allowed Wang Li and his son to initially establish a good relationship with their superiors, which would facilitate future work.

After finishing their meal, the father and son returned home and moved all the furniture from the back room to the warehouse where the back room and the west wing were connected, freeing up a warehouse for storing supplies as a purchasing station for the courtyard.
